We are what our name suggests – an organisation dedicated to offering the public a year-round programme of walks throughout Calderdale linked to the history and heritage of this rather special area. The majority of walks are centred on the towns and villages, but some have a more rural feel and explore the old lanes, paths and settlements of our extensive countryside.

Each season we include new walks so that there are always things to interest even patrons of several years standing. The standard walks last 2 to 2¼ hours, and are fairly easy walking.‘Extended’ walks last 2½ to 3 hours and some of those use rural paths and are harder walking. The majority of walks are not really suited to those under thirteen.
Most start points are accessible by public transport and our standard walks always go ahead, whatever the weather. If one person turns up – the walk is on ! The charge for almost all walks is £3 (for all ages).
